Podcast appearances and mentions of Vijay Govindarajan

Many companies make money by selling goods that need to be constantly replaced; think fast fashion, or tech devices that come out in new versions each year. But according to Vijay Govindarajan, professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, smart organizations are increasingly eschewing that strategy for one focused on products that grow with the consumer through creative design or software updates. He shares several examples and explains how this approach can deliver more value for the buyer – and for the business – over the long term. Govindarajan is the coauthor of the HBR article "Design Products That Won't Become Obsolete."

Welcome to episode #934 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #934. When it comes to management and innovation, Vijay Govindarajan (aka VG) is a true legend. VG is a name synonymous with strategy and innovation. As the Coxe Distinguished Professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business and a key player in Silicon Valley's Mach49 incubator (prior to joining the faculty at Tuck, VG was on the faculties of Harvard Business School, Insead and the Indian Institute of Management), VG's insights are pure gold for anyone looking to push their business thinking forward. VG's journey is impressive. From being the first Professor in Residence and Chief Innovation Consultant at General Electric to working with top management teams in over 40% of the Fortune 500, VG has seen it all. In our conversation, he breaks down the evolving definition of innovation and why it's crucial for organizations to aim high and take risks. One of his standout ideas is the fusion strategy — melding physical products with tech to create something truly remarkable (also the name of his latest book, Fusion Strategy - How Real-Time Data and AI Will Power the Industrial Future). It's not just about having the latest gadgets but about integrating them in ways that make life better. We also tackle the topic of leadership. VG stresses that true leaders are those who can solve customer problems in real-time and build lifelong relationships. He's a firm believer that smart data and AI are the new electricity - essential and transformative. But it's not just about having the tools... it's about how you use them. Innovation isn't just a buzzword for VG; it's a necessity, especially in our unpredictable world. We also talked about the impact of black swan events and how these unpredictable challenges require a new way of thinking and an openness to change. He's all about thinking differently and pushing the boundaries to reach your true potential (see his ten-plus business books or the countless articles he's published in the top academic journals - work like Reverse Innovation, Stop The Innovation Wars and many more). It's about being bold, taking risks, and learning from every step along the way. VG's practical experience and strategic mind make him a treasure trove of insights. He's worked with industry giants like Boeing, Coca-Cola, FedEx, and Walmart, and spoken at major events like TED and the World Economic Forum at Davos. He's a big brain with a warm heart and a passion for doing things right in business today. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:06:48. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

I det här avsnittet pratar Jenny, Jonas och Per om den kritiska andra lådan i 3-box-modellen, den som handlar om att sluta göra saker i syfte att kunna röra sig framåt mot nästa version av ens verksamhet. Samtalet berör bland annat vikten av att ha en tydlig bild av vart man ska för att kunna identifiera det som håller en tillbaka, att vi lever i en add-on-kultur och att det finns 3 bra frågor att ställa för att hitta det där vi borde sluta med. Avsnittet tar stöd i 3box-modellen av Vijay Govindarajan.

SUMMARY Global Leadership Podcast interviewer Jason Jaggard interviews innovation expert Dr. Vijay Govindarajan on how generative AI and datagraphs impacts organizational strategy, and how leaders can continue to innovate in a rapidly changing context.    IN THIS EPISODE: -       How did VG's grandfather influence his understanding of innovation? -       What is the “Three Box Solution,” and how does it affect strategy and innovation? -        What role does imagination play in innovation?  -       What is the basic premise of “fusion strategy?” -       What is the difference between “digitals” and “industrials”? -       What is the basic meaning of the terms “datagraphs,” “digital twins” and “tripartite”?  -       How do fusion strategy concepts translate from industrial and manufacturing sectors to social and/or service sectors?   -       How willing does VG think people might be to volunteer their data in faith communities?   LISTEN Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube   STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS -       The only competition that matters is self-competition; self-competition is about achieving true potential; and to achieve true potential you have to innovate. -       VG does not consider himself a professor; he is “in the impact business.” -       The “Three Boxes”: (1) manage the present; (2) selectively abandon the past; and (3) create the future. -       Companies think that they are “doing strategy” by working in Box 1, but strategy must also include the other two boxes. -       While you must always work in all three boxes, all three boxes require different mindsets and capabilities. -       Box Two is always the most difficult to work in for corporations, but is really the most important for creating the future. -       Another way to think about strategy is to imagine the future, then “fold the future back to the present,” and then take actions today to create that future. -       What companies tend to do for strategy is to simply push the present forward. -       The premise of VG's Fusion Strategy goes back to the 1980s and the question, “How will information technology affect the world of business and the discipline of management?” -       Even the though the technology has changed, the essential question is the same. -       “Datagraphs” track product in use (as opposed to product sold). -       A “digital twin” is a digital replica of your product (or process). -       “Tripartite digital twins” integrates three essential digital twins: design, process, and product-as-used. -       The integration of these tripartite digital twins allow companies to diagnose root causes of problems much faster than traditional companies. -       VG suggests that “augmented” intelligence is a better term than “artificial” intelligence. -       Faith communities should thoughtfully consider their goal, and then they should ask themselves whether or not data or AI achieve the goal even more efficiently. -       Because of their facility with digital technology, the church can serve younger generations very differently. -       Showing value is the key to motivating people to share their data. -       Asking great questions is a key leadership trait, and is essentially human.     LINKS MENTIONED -       Website: Vijay on LinkedIn -       Book: Fusion Strategy: How Real-Time Data and AI Will Power the Industrial Future (Pre-Order; Amazon) -       Added Value: Vijay's Seminars on Fusion Strategy (Feb 6, 7, and 8) -       Book: The Three-Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation -       Book: Vijay's Amazon Page -       Website: Jason Jaggard on LinkedIn -       Website: Novus Global -       Website: Meta Performance Institute -       Book: Beyond High Performance: What Great Coaches Know About How the Best Get Better   -       Website: Global Leadership Network

The promise of artificial intelligence is immense and companies that view AI as an enabler of corporate transformation can reap potentially enormous benefits in terms of both value creation and growth. In this panel discussion, Freddy Solis hosts his Innosight colleague and co-leader in the company's global AI practice, Shari Parvarandeh, along with renowned thought leaders in management and information systems, and co-authors of the forthcoming book, Fusion Strategy, Vijay Govindarajan and Venkat Venkatraman, for a wide-reaching discussion on artificial intelligence and its implications for companies. Their conversation spans the genesis and current state of AI in business; its transformative impact across industries; blockers and enablers of adoption; different types of models and use cases; and when to build, buy, or partner, to cite but a few examples. Companies that stand to benefit from the vast opportunities that AI presents in virtually every industry will be those that act boldly and ahead of the curve.

Marshall Goldsmith is an expert at helping global leaders overcome their sometimes unconscious annoying habits and attain a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But, in this book, you get Marshall's great advice without the hefty fee! "Marshall Goldsmith is one of the most credible thought leaders in the new era of business." -- The Economist "For over a decade I have worked with Marshall in corporations and seen him teach.

Innovation demands different skill sets, methods, and leadership approaches from business owners. The challenge for leaders is to find the balance between three innovation areas: preservation, destruction, and creation. These concepts are central to the innovation framework designed by business strategy coach Vijay Govindarajan.In his book The Three-Box Solution, Vijay teaches a framework for allocating energy, time, and resources for driving innovation while delivering current goals. We will also hear about the importance of embracing change to build the future.Episode Quotes:An overview of the Three-Box Solution[00:02:27] I always ask companies to put whatever they do into three boxes. How many of their activities are in Box 1? And Box 1 is about managing the present, which is about improving the efficiency of your current business model. Box 2 is about selectively forgetting the past, and Box 3 is about creating the future. Manage the person Box 1, selectively abandon the past Box 2, and create the future Box 3. And working with organizations, what I found is they all are focused on Box 1. While Box 1 is terribly important, strategy has to include all three boxes. Why is it difficult for companies to integrate the strategy of forgetting into their innovation plan?[00:03:04] The challenge for companies in Box 3 is how are you going to create your future in the year 2030? If you want to create your future in the year 2030, then you have a job to do in Box 2. Mainly you have to selectively forget. And I find of my three boxes; Box 2 is the most challenging, and it is one that has not been recognized by academics and practitioners, to the extent they should.If you can't forget, you can't learn as simple as that. Think about how many books are written about learning organizations. We haven't written a single book on forgetting organizations. The reason why Box 2 is such a big problem is Box 2 is your current strength then lays your future weakness. That is why it is very difficult to forget because when you forget, you're forgetting your current strength.On Hindu beliefs that influenced the Three-Box Solution.[00:08:29] As a circle, the beauty is that there is no beginning and no end to a circle. Everything that is born in this universe will be preserved. That is the job of Vishnu, that is Box 1, manage the person. Everything that is preserved, will be ultimately destroyed, that is the job of Shiva. That is Box 2; destroy the past. And everything that is destroyed will get regenerated. That is the job of Brahma, that is Box 3. This notion of preservation, destruction, and regeneration as a rhythmic, continuous cycle is how humanity has sustained. I have simply taken something that was written in Hindu spirituality 3000 years ago, packaged it, and presented it to companies, and said 'If General Motors wants to remain in business forever, you must also master these three processes.How can leaders effectively innovate for the future while implementing present processes?[00:18:00] I think that is the art of the leader. The CEO should never say Box 1 is a dinosaur and Box 3 is the future. I think the CEO has to message creating the future requires a role for both the performance gap, which is what Box 1 is and the possibility gap, which is what Box 3 is. Without focus on both, we are never going to achieve our future. What is the biggest challenge faced by companies as they innovate?[00:23:41] I say the biggest problem in companies is not lack of ideas; it is a lack of capacity to execute the ideas. Therefore, the biggest challenge is in the execution. That includes changing mindsets, changing structures, changing capabilities, changing processes, changing people. All of them are hard. And mindsets you can change by changing people. Because you can't change mindset directly.Time Code Guide:00:02:27 An Overview of the Three-Box Strategy00:03:04 The Strategy of Forgetting for Company Innovation00:07:29 Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma: The Three Gods from Hindu Scripture00:08:45 The notion of preservation, destruction, and regeneration00:10:33 How to preserve and overcome the dominant logic00:13:23 The present and dominant logic is an ally of the future00:15:49 Three Rules for Executing the Three-Box Solution00:18:00 Ways to innovate for the future while implementing the present processes00:18:27 Industries with a transformed and preserved past00:20:06 Balancing the cost of cannibalization and the cost of inaction00:23:41 The biggest challenge in creating an ambidextrous organization00:25:34 The planned opportunism00:26:45 Creating the future is never a random process00:29:35 The metaphor of two horses00:31:07 The only competition that matters is self-competition00:34:47 How can individuals prepare for their goals while managing present commitments00:45:02 Reverse Innovation00:48:56 The Three-Box Solution applied to business educationShow Links:Guest ProfileProfile from Dartmouth College, Tuck School of BusinessVijay Govindarajan on LinkedInVijay Govindarajan on TwitterHis WorkThe Three-Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading InnovationBeyond the Idea: How to Execute Innovation in Any OrganizationReverse InnovationThe Other Side of Innovation: Solving the Execution ChallengeHow Stella Saved the Farm: A Tale About Making Innovation HappenManagement Control SystemTen Rules for Strategic Innovators: From Idea to Execution Global Strategy and the OrganizationThe Many Facets of LeadershipThe Quest for Global Dominance: Transforming Global Presence into Global Competitive Advantage

Äntligen tisdag! Den här veckan pratar vi om huruvida det är så att Starbucks kanske egentligen är en bank, hur man kan ta affärsmodeller och finansieringsmodeller från andra branscher än sin egen och om affärsmodellen i sig kanske kan skapa ett mervärde även om den inte står på egen hand.Robin Lilia ringer in med en fundering om hur man ska tänka kring de tre horisonterna inom innovation och om man kanske ska fördela arbetet eller till och med personerna/teamen mellan dessa.I veckans goodiebag går vi igenom modellen "Three box solution" som en modell för att lära sig släppa det gamla och utforska nytt.

“How we portray the brand, how we market the brand, how we communicate everything around that brand needs to be in sync. You need to get the whole organization understanding what that ethos is and be consistent in its application and its communication. And you really need senior leadership to align to that.” – Bryan Semkuley    Connect with Connect with Bryan Semkuley: LinkedIn Selected links and people mentioned in this episode: BrandVation Global Minds Network The Third Angle Labatt Pebble in the Sky by Isaac Asimov The Other Side of Innovation: Solving the Execution Challenge by Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com Facebook Instagram Twitter SHOW NOTES [02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest: Bryan Semkuley. [02:54] Two old friends, Bryan and Patrick first get caught up with each other. With a long list of adventures and accomplishments, Bryan shares what he's up to today and the projects he's working on. [05:58] In his world of consulting and advising, Bryan's focus is mostly brand marketing and innovation through product development, improved processes, and communication strategies to name just a few. [07:10] Bryan brings us back to post-University days where he joined Labatt brewing company, not just for drinking the beer but as a Market Analyst and later in Sales. A gratifying and fulfilling start to his career, Bryan got a deep-rooted understanding for the complexities of the brewing business which created a solid foundation for his future as a brand promoter and marketer. [11:30] Beginning with the end in mind. Bryan attributes his mindset back to his teenage years, dreaming of how he could have a million dollars by the time he was 65. With goals and milestones set along his journey, Bryan consistently set his course with that dream firmly in place. [14:08] Nature and nurture, they both played a role in shaping Bryan's trajectory and mindset. With care and encouragement from both of his parents Bryan understood the value of working hard, educating oneself and keeping a competitive edge. He enjoyed the challenge of elevating his skillset to match a competitor's and get the most from any of his endeavours, be it sports or career. [16:12] The growth mindset he learned from his father guided Bryan in his early career with Labatt to show up and be recognized by leaders and mentors as someone who would benefit from exploring and experiencing more than his day-to-day job might offer. Bryan, with the further encouragement of his wife Kathy, accepted and took advantage of the special projects and opportunities that came his way which expanded their world enormously. [20:44] With a constant stream of growth and learning opportunities, Bryan felt no desire to move on from Labatt and instead focused and capitalized on the new challenges he was being given and was inspired to contribute to. The competition of business was very analogous to the competition of sport. [24:25] Bryan describes how he showed up as a leader during that time. Driven to achieve with a strong, silent, and genuine style and a firm recognition of his team and their development. The leadership paradox: as a leader he worked for his team, not the other way around, to set them up for success which in turn escalated the corporation's success. [26:11] A leader by nature, Bryan has often found himself in leadership roles. From kindergarten to sports to career, only as he began to take on more corporate leadership roles did he start to dive into more intentional self-development. [28:36] Bryan shares the whirlwind course that his career path took, which brought him and his family some tremendous opportunities from Canada to the United States and finally to Europe. [34:18] Although his work required a healthy time commitment, Bryan and Kathy were dedicated to prioritizing family rituals and time together. [36:02] With another corporate restructuring tha...

Companies can't survive without innovating, but most put far more emphasis on generating "Big Ideas" instead of executing them--turning ideas into actual breakthrough products, services, and process improvements. That's because "ideating" is energizing and glamorous. By contrast, execution seems like humdrum, behind-the-scenes dirty work. But without execution, Big Ideas go nowhere. In "The Other Side of Innovation," Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble reveal how to execute an innovation initiative--whether a simple project or a grand, gutsy gamble.  

Bestselling author Vijay Govindarajan's new book offers leaders a method for balancing the priorities of the present the past and the future. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
